While technically identical to the FIDIBUS CLASSIC with its large 3.35 inch diameter, self sharpening corundum-ceramic millstones and efficient 360 watt motor, the PK 1 is instead housed in a beautiful hexagonal cabinet of solid beech wood. It’s so easy to use: the grind texture is continuously adjusted from fine flour
to coarse meal and cracked grain just by simply turning the hopper bowl. As with all KoMo mills, accessing the milling chamber is quick and easy – no tools required – and cleanup is minimal and easy. Access to the
milling chamber takes just a moment and requires no tools.
The PK1 will grind a wide array of grains including soft or hard
wheat, oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, kamut, spelt,
buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum and dent
(field) corn. It will also grind lentils, dry beans (pinto, red,
garbanzo/chickpeas, kidney & more), and dried, non-oily spices. It
isn't suitable for herbs, oilseeds like flax or sesame, popcorn, or
fibrous materials.
Dent (field) corn and soybeans can be ground to any texture from
cracked to meal to very fine flour. For these very large-kerneled
grains, grind first with the stones opened widely to produce cracked
grain, then a second time if you want flour. If you want to grind oat groats open the stones
about five clicks (or so) wider than you would for a hard grain like
wheat, otherwise the soft oat flour will fill the stones' furrows and
in-feeding will stop. Opening the stones further will give you a cereal
grind for porridge, or coarser yet for cracked oats, similar to
steel-cut oats.
If you prepare food for someone with a food allergy, see KoMo's optional
interchangeable insert system. This ingenious solution lets you grind
different types of grain in the same mill while keeping food types
completely separate.
A lifetime mill: The excellence of engineering and construction that
goes into every KoMo electric grain mill means that your mill can be
expected to last a lifetime in normal use. Only the finest materials are
used to make KoMo mills, and the European beechwood used in crafting
their beautiful cabinetry is sustainably harvested.
